Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (Video 2014) - IMDb Scooby-Doo! WrestleMania Mystery (2014) ** 1/2 (out of 4) The latest mystery has Shaggy and Scooby winning a wrestling video game, which gives them the grand prize of a week at the WWE headquarters. Once there the gang gets involved with the mystery involving a giant glowing bear who is wrecking havoc on the place and plans to ruin the upcoming WrestleMania. The latest movie from Scooby-Doo isn't the greatest and in fact it's a major set back when compared to BIG TOP SCOOBY-DOO but there's no doubt that fans will still want to check it out. While the film remains entertaining for the most part, there's no question that it lacks a certain amount of charm. I'm not sure why on Earth the filmmakers decided to mix in the wrestling stars but it really didn't make for a good combination. I'm not going to lie, I stopped watching wrestling years ago but I thought they could have done a few interesting things with it.

Sadly, that really didn't happen as we get the typical types of jokes that you'd expect and of course Shaggy and Scooby eventually have to face down one of the biggest people in the business. The film does have some good stuff in it including the monster bear, which looked excellent and made for a great villain. It's really too bad he wasn't used more. The animation is top-notch as you'd expect and there's no doubt that Scooby is always at the top of his game. The vocal work is good by all, which is another plus. The story itself is pretty standard and it's not too hard to figure out who's going to be behind the mask. Still, even with the flaws, the film manages to be entertaining. 1 of 2 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Velma Dinkley | Hanna-Barbera Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Velma Dinkley is a character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She was the smartest member of the group, but (in the CBS days, at least) continually losing her glasses.

Contents [ show ] Clothes worn She is usually seen wearing a baggy orange sweater, red knee-length pleated skirt, orange knee-high socks, white panties (in A Pup Named Scooby Doo!) and Mary Jane shoes. Character description Despite differing writers and which particular incarnation of series is meant, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent and slightly tomboyish yet beautiful young woman with various interests ranging from highly specific sciences (which, in the "Scooby and Scrappy-Doo" series, leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist) to merely being very well read on varied and sometimes obscure information, such as ancient Viking writings, as stated in The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour . It is due to this intelligent focus that Velma is usually the one to solve the mystery, sometimes with the help of Fred Jones . In the first two series, "Where Are You!" and "New Movies", a running gag of the series is Velma's trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (usually from being accidentally knocked off her face while being chased by the villain). Velma is usually depicted as having very limited vision without her glasses.

When Scooby is too afraid to volunteer to help with a mission, Velma often offers him a dog treat called a " Scooby Snack " as a bribe. Velma is generally dressed in a pleated brown miniskirt, orange sweater, and glasses. When the gang splits up, Velma either goes off with Fred Jones and Daphne Blake or sometimes goes with Scooby-Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and on occasion, even by herself. Her catchphrases are: "Jinkies!", "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" and "You wouldn't hit someone wearing glasses, would you?". Character background Like all of the Scooby-Doo gang, later labelled as Mystery Incorporated members, Velma has varying personal backgrounds and histories, depending on which series is meant. According to the original "Where Are You!" series, Velma went to the same high school as all of her Mystery Incorporated partners. In the debut episode "What a Night for a Knight", she states she attended the same high school gym class as Shaggy.

This is retconned in "The New Scooby-Doo Movies", where Velma is stated now to have attended and graduated from a completely separate high school from her friends (as reported in the episode "Spirited Spooked Sports Show" with comedian Tim Conway ). In the current series, unlike the other members of Mystery Inc., Velma is stated to be a native of Ohio. But on one occasion, she mentioned she's from Texas. In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo , Velma is described by her little sister, Madelyn , as having been "born with a mystery book in her hand". Relationship with Shaggy Rogers In the 2010 series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated , Velma and Shaggy have begun dating. In this new series, Velma is pushing Shaggy to be more intimate. Shaggy, however, is hesitant due to his desire to hide the relationship from Scooby until he feels confident enough to tell Scooby. This caused some tension between Shaggy and Velma. On top of that, Velma became very controlling: telling Shaggy what to eat, what to wear, even what to say.

As per advice from Daphne, she increased this behavior for a brief period; she toned it down by Shaggy's request. Eventually, Scooby became aware that they were dating. Scooby's initial reaction was exactly what Shaggy had feared: anger, jealousy, and a sense of betrayal. There appeared to be some mild animosity between Scooby and Velma due to this subject. This animosity had even elevated to insults (a stark contrast from previous incarnations of characters). In the end, they gave Shaggy an ultimatum: he had to choose between them. It can be assumed that Shaggy was desperate to avoid making such a decision. Ultimately, Shaggy chose Scooby and broke up with Velma, leaving her heartbroken and humiliated. Despite bitter feelings over the breakup, Velma admitted to Scooby that she still has feelings for Shaggy. It is unclear where things will go from this point. At present, Velma is not on good terms with either Shaggy or Scooby. In Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster , Shaggy becomes smitten with Velma very early on in the film.

From that point on, he follows Velma around, slowly working up the courage to ask her out on a date. Velma is oblivious to all this (partly due to being possessed by Wanda Grubwort) until Shaggy eventually does ask her out; she reluctantly agrees. Scooby (once again jealous of this new, budding relationship) attempts to sabotage the date. Velma leaves early after getting the moonstone Shaggy was planning to give to her later. To Shaggy, it appeared that date did not go well. Later, it is revealed to the gang that Velma is possessed. Shaggy is able to save her by complimenting her and singing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon". When Velma comes to, she asks Shaggy if he meant the things he said; he confirms that he meant every word. Goaded on by Fred and Daphne, they kiss each other only to come to the conclusion that there is no chemistry between them. They agree to stay friends, and Scooby gives a sigh of relief. Other allusions to the Shaggy/Velma relationship can be seen in a number of Scooby-Doo series since Scooby-Doo, Where are You!

Examples are the fact that Velma was often paired with Shaggy when the gang looks for clues; for example: In "The Backstage Rage", Velma clings to Shaggy when she is scared. In "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts", Shaggy has Velma's spare glasses. i In "What a Night for a Knight", Velma carries Shaggy's medicine. In the direct-to-video film Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! , when Fred and Velma find Shaggy and Scooby in the mountains Shaggy jumps into Velma's arms. In another direct-to-video film, Scooby-Doo! in Where's My Mummy?, Shaggy and Scooby are the most distraught over Velma having been turned to stone (cf. the Greek myth about Medusa). Relatives Relatives of Velma shown during the series' run include: Rupert and Agnes Dinkley Velma's parents. Madelyn Dinkley Velma's little sister, voiced by Danica McKellar . She seems like 17 or 18 and she somewhat resembles her older sister in appearance and personality.

Ironically, Velma herself refers to Madelyn as a nerd and doesn't seem to realize how much alike they really are. Unlike her sister Velma, Madelyn wasn't exactly sure what she wanted to do for a living and had previously attended clown college (to quote Madelyn: "Yeah, so I've done some soul-searching, Not everyone is born with a mystery book in her hand, Velma."), until she discovered a fondness for stage magic (as Madelyn put it, "I've always been fascinated by how it's done. Just as Velma loves to solve mysteries, I love to uncover the secret of magic!") and enrolls in a school for stage magicians. Madelyn has a huge crush on Shaggy . As a result of her crush on him, Shaggy refers to Madelyn as "Doe-eyed Dinkley" or by the nickname "Madds". She plays an important role in Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo , when the magic school in which she's enrolled is being terrorized by a giant griffin.

Alerted to trouble at the school by Agnes Dinkley [Velma & Madelyn's mom] via cell phone, Velma and the gang head to the magic school to check on Madelyn and to investigate the resent griffin sightings. After the griffin scares off most of Madelyn's teachers and classmates, Velma, Madelyn and the gang decide to stay and learn stage magic hoping it will help them in unraveling the mystery of the griffin. After Madelyn is kidnapped by the griffin and taken to its tower, Velma, Fred, Daphne, Scooby and Shaggy (dressed in a suit of armor) head to the tower to save Madelyn. They are attacked by the griffin along the way, and Shaggy and Scooby become separated from the others after the tower's center bridge breaks. Shaggy and Scooby find where Madelyn is being held and manage to rescue her before being attacked by the griffin, who grabs the "long scarf" they were going to use to escape via a nearby window. They are carried by the griffin out of the tower and manage to escape while it is flying close to the ground.

Eventually, the griffin crashes and the mystery is solved, after which Madelyn becomes an apprentice magician. She is later shown giving her first on-stage performance, with Daphne as her assistant. Chloe Dinkley Velma and Madelyn's 13-year-old sister. Aunt Meg and Uncle Evan Velma's aunt and uncle, who live in a small town called Banning Junction, which features in a Halloween episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo? . Marcy Velma's cousin, the daughter of Meg and Evan. She studies mechanical engineering in college, but unlike Velma, Marcy is fashionable, like Daphne (this, along with Marcy's interest in Fred, has made her Daphne's rival of sorts). She was born on Hallowe'en, which over time led to her hatred of the holiday as it usually upstaged her birthday (even her parents forgot due to the holiday). She used local lore and her background in engineering to create "Mechanical Scarecrow Monsters" to terrorize the town. To throw off her cousin (and a jealous Daphne), Marcy created an alibi (security camera footage) for herself.

However, Velma manages to see through her cousin's plot (possibly remembering it was her birthday), proving Daphne was right. Other relatives Aunt Thelma: works with dolphins at a marine institute. Dave Walton: Velma's uncle. Uncle Ted: another archeologist. Performers Velma has been voiced by several actresses. From 1969 to 1974, Nicole Jaffe voiced Velma; from 1976 to 1979, the late Pat Stevens voiced the character. From 1979 to 1980, Marla Frumkin provided her voice. Velma did not speak in the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo final episode, "The Ransom of Scooby Chief". After the character's absence from 1980 to 1983 series, Marla Frumkin reprised the role of Velma as a guest star in The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries . Velma was absent again until A Pup Named Scooby-Doo when Christina Lange voiced the role. B.J. Ward voiced Velma in a Johnny Bravo crossover episode.

(TV Series 1969–1970) - Connections - IMDb South Park: Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery (1999) (TV Episode) Whenever Korn or the pirate ghosts appear, Scooby Doo-esque music plays and canned laughter is used.

Scooby Doo Games, Videos & Downloads Online! - Cartoon Network ED, EDD N EDDY Scooby-Doo Everyone's best friend, Scooby Doo famously loves to eat and hates things that go bump in the night. Food is definitely Scooby's weak spot, and he can easily be coaxed into scary situations with a tasty Scooby Snack or two. Unlike most dogs, Scooby can talk. Shaggy Shaggy is a laid-back guy. He's a lot like Scooby - the two of them always sniff out the food wherever they go before getting down to business. He never really wants to be a part of solving mysteries, but he always works up the courage to help his friends out. Fred Fred usually leads the group in solving mysteries and often orders the gang to split up to search for clues. Fred usually takes Daphne and Velma with him, while Shaggy and Scooby-Doo go off by themselves (often in search of food instead of clues). Daphne Daphne is the most likely of the group to get captured, and is usually rescued by one or all of the gang.

She's always very curious and brave when the gang come across a mystery to solve. Velma Velma is the youngest member of the group. She's also the cleverest and will always spot the clues before anyone else... but often loses her glasses, and can't see anything or solve any mysteries without them.

She also seems to be the most scheming and secretive member of Mystery Inc, as illustrated by her posing as the mysterious masked figure, [3] and keeping a number of secrets from other gang members (like the true identity of the Angel Dynamite ). She pursued a relationship with Shaggy Rogers and became frustrated when he seemed more interested in his dog and in food than in her. When she thought Shaggy didn't want to take her to the prom, she actually kicked over several tombstones in a cemetery they were exploring. After being dumped by Shaggy, she takes the break-up very hard and decides to ignore Shaggy and Scooby's attempts at friendship, showing she can be very bitter.

[3] Appearances Every episode Notes/trivia Velma's interest in Shaggy may have been based on her original incarnation 's younger wizard sister, Madelyn Dinkley , from Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo . One notable difference between her and her original self, is that she is more cynical, self-centered, vain, and sarcastic, similar to the titular protagonist of Daria. Most of these changes however, are to do with her being written a lot more like an actual teenager would act, and/or are a result of emphasizing the personality aspects that were merely hinted at in the original series. However, her feelings for Shaggy and her jealousy are a distinctly new element that was not present at all in the original franchise. Another personality aspect that was emphasized is her love of secrecy and a bit of slyness. The original series sometimes hinted at it (for instance, she often kept her conclusions a secret till the very end of the episode), and she is the only gang member who perpetrated a hoax herself , albeit for a noble purpose.

Her disguise in The Night the Clown Cried , along with the distorted voice and speech pattern, makes her very similar to DC Comics hero, the Question, along with Watchmen character, Rorschach. Her eyes are revealed to be green when she takes off her glasses in Art of Darkness! , but she had already taken off her glasses before in The Creeping Creatures and they were still black. Velma Dinkley | Scoobypedia | Fandom powered by Wikia Velma Dinkley [1] is the bespectacled resident genius of Mystery Inc. , often being the one to decipher the clues and solve the crimes. Contents [ show ] Physical appearance Velma is a Caucasian female with chin-length auburn hair. She has freckles, and initially was depicted as more heavyset compared to the thinner frame on Daphne Blake . While somewhat obscured by her fashion choices, Velma can be seen to have a slightly wider waist and her facial shape is more circular/square compared to the ovular shape Daphne has as an adult.

She is always seen wearing thick-framed, square glasses (a running theme is that Velma often loses them, after which she can be seen crawling on the floor looking for them saying, "My glasses. I can't find my glasses."). She normally wears an orange sweater, with a red skirt, knee length orange socks and black Mary Jane shoes. Her clothes didn't change much from show to show being almost the same. Personality She has a fascination with mysteries (her younger sister Madelyn said that she was "born with a mystery book in her hand". [2] At times she be competitive with other people who are very intelligent like she is. [3] She is sharp-witted and sometimes sarcastic, not lost on others. [4] She also seems to love secrecy, and has a bit of slyness in her character, as she was the only gang member to actually perpetrate a hoax, albeit for a noble reason, as she was helping Omar Karam protect Cleopatra 's riches. [5] In the same case, she was also overly-caring of the gang, as she wanted to protect them from harm's way, despite everything they've been through.

[5] When she found some unappetizing chicken at the Addams Family mansion , she said "it's time to start my diet". While this may be an excuse, the phrasing "my" rather than "a" implies that she may diet regularly, perhaps self-conscious of her weight. [6] Skills and abilities Velma knows Morse Code, which she claims to have learned in Girl Scouts.[ citation needed ] Physical As a young child, she knew martial arts. [7] She has above-average grip and core strength, as in a sea episode she was able to dangle on a very wide pipe (bigger objects are more difficult to grip than smaller diameter bars) and hold her legs out straight in front of her (90 degree bend in hips) to avoid hitting a monster as it ran past her through a doorway. Velma is also incredibly strong in her shoulder overhead pressing muscles (trapezius, deltoids). She was able to simultaneously life two female wrestlers (who tend to be heavier than normal women due to the extra muscle) and throw them through the air above her head level, one per hand. She claimed the move was called the " Flying Dinkley ".

Initially, he and Velma very much disliked each other, but by the end of their stay, they seemed to be getting along very well, especially when he said that he wanted to write detective novels. Although she made it clear that it was detective novels she liked, and not a particular detective himself. ( Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island ) Ben Ravencroft : An author famous for horror stories. He initially appeared kind and a bit shy, and he and Velma may have developed feelings for each other. But once she saw the greedy, cruel, power-hungry person he was, she became genuinely angry and did everything she could to stop him.

(1969-72) and The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1972-74). Jaffe married and retired from acting in 1974, and when Scooby-Doo resumed production in 1976, Patricia Stevens was brought in as Jaffe's replacement. Stevens was replaced by Marla Frumkin mid-way through the 1979-80 season of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1979-1980). Frumkin voiced the character in four more episodes of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo before Velma was dropped from the series.

Velma later returned as a semi regular character in four episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries , with Frumkin again voicing the character. Christina Lange voiced preadolescent Velma in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo from 1988 to 1991, and B.J. Ward voiced the character in several direct-to-video films from 1997 until 2002. Mindy Cohn , formerly a lead actress on the 1980s TV sitcom, The Facts of Life, has voiced Velma from 2002 to the present; with the exception of two direct-to-video films in 2003 in which Jaffe returned to voice Velma. In Scooby-Doo! Music of the Vampire her singing voice is provided by Bets Malone in the song, Done With Monsters and its reprise . In other languages Current (since the 90s); before 2006, she was credited as Agata Gawrońska. Notes/trivia The junior-high school aged, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo version of Velma was animated with a rapid walk similar to that of Marvin the Martian.

She was also drawn with glasses somewhat as large as her head. This younger Velma always carried a suitcase with her (compact size) that holds a very advanced computer. In the Johnny Bravo episode, Bravo Dooby-Doo , the Scooby-Doo cast meet Johnny, with Velma briefly developing a crush on him, but changed her mind by the episode's end. Also in Bravo Dooby-Doo, homage is paid to Velma's catchphrase, "Jinkies!" When Johnny and the gang are being chased by the evil gardener, Johnny exclaims, "Jinkies," then wonders, "Jinkies... Jinkies. Hey, isn't that a breakfast cereal or something?". He also paraphrases another catch phrase, when, after a collision, both Velma's and Johnny's glasses are knocked off. As they search around for them, Velma says her signature phrase, "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" while Johnny laments, "My glasses! I can't be seen without my glasses!" What's New, Scooby-Doo?

tried to add interests and phobias that were neither mentioned before or after the series aired: Velma is a huge a fan of ice hockey, knowing most of the game strategies (she discusses a few of them with Brett Hull ). She even gets to play for the United States team in the finals. [9] She conquered her extreme phobia of clowns during the Menacing Metallic Clown case. [10] She is the only member of Mystery Inc. to be the monster during a case, albeit for a noble reason. [5] Gallery Velma Dinkley | Heroes Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia My glasses! I can't see without my glasses! „ ~ Velma Velma Lilly Dinkley (born Velma Von Dinkenstien) is a fictional character in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She is prone to losing her glasses. She is usually seen wearing a baggy long-sleeved orange sweater, short red pleated skirt (or in later episodes shorts), orange knee-high socks and red strap-on Mary Janes. She is seen as the brains of the group and the older sister of Madelyn.

She was voiced by Nicole Jaffe (1969-1971, 2003), BJ Ward (1998-2001), Mindy Cohn (2004-2015) and Kate Miuccui (2015-present). Contents [ show ] Birth Country Velma was in Germany (as revealed In Scooby-Doo Frankencreepy). When she and her parents moved to America, over the years Velma met and became friends with Scooby-Doo , Shaggy Rogers , Daphne Blake , Fred Jones and eventually Scooby's nephew Scrappy-Doo . Personality Velma is the smartest member of the group and out of all the members she has the biggest fascination for mysteries. Velma does don't believe in the supernatural and believes that many of the monsters are fake. Velma also cares about about her friends in Where's my Mummy she tried protecting the gang by telling to stay out of the mystery.

Charater description Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent and tomboyishly beautiful young woman with various interests ranging from highly specified sciences (which in the "Scooby and Scrappy Doo" series leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist) or merely being very well read on various and sometimes obscure information, such as ancient Viking writing (as in the third Scooby Doo series "The New Scooby Doo Mysteries"). In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, Velma is described by her younger sister Madelyn as being "born with a mystery book in her hand". Consequently, Velma is usually the one to figure out the mystery, sometimes with the help of Freddie and Daphne. In the first series, notably "Where are you!" and "New Movies", a running gag is Velma's severe near-sightedness and her trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (usually after falling off while being chased by the villain). When Scooby is too afraid to volunteer to help with a mission, Velma often offers him a dog treat called a "Scooby Snack" as a bribe.

Her catchphrases are: "Jinkies!" and "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" Character background Like all of the Scooby Doo gang, later ret-conned as Mystery Incorporated members, Velma has differing personal backgrounds and histories depending on which series one is referring to. In the original Where are you! series, Velma attended the same high school as the rest of the gang (as stated in the episode A Knight for a night). However, in the second series, the New Scooby Doo Movies, Velma is said to have graduated from a different high school than her friends (as stated in the episode Spirited Spooked Sports Show). In the current series, Velma is stated to be a native of Ohio, unlike the other members of Mystery Inc. But on one occasion, she mentioned she's from Texas. Revatives Relatives of Velma shown during the series' run include: Bruce and Agnes Dinkley Velma's 13 year old sister. Aunt Meg and Uncle Evan Velma's aunt and uncle, who live in a small town called Banning Junction which features in a Halloween episode of What's New, Scooby-Doo?.

Marcy Velma's cousin and the daughter of Meg and Evan. She is studying mechanical engineering in college, but unlike Velma she is fashionable. This along with Marcy's interest in Fred made her Daphne's rival of sorts. She was born on Halloween which over time led to her hatred of the holiday as it usually upstaged her birthday (even her parents have forgotten it). Consequently, she used local legend and her engineering background to create "Mechanical Scarecrow Monsters" to terrorize the town. Other Relatives Uncle Ted: also works as an archeologist Portrayals Velma has been voiced by several actresses. From 1969 to 1974, Nicole Jaffe voiced Velma; from 1976 to 1979, the late Pat Stevens voiced the character. From 1979 to 1980, Marla Frumkin provided her voice. Velma did not speak in the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo final episode, "The Ransom of Scooby Chief".

After the character's absence from 1980 to 1983 series, Marla Frumkin reprised the role of Velma as a guest star in The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries. Velma was absent again until A Pup Named Scooby-Doo when Christina Lange voiced the role. B.J. Ward voiced Velma in a Johnny Bravo crossover episode. From the animated movie, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, B.J. Ward reprised her role in all movies though Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase. Nicole Jaffe returned temporary to voice Velma in the movies, Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire and Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico. In the latest three Scooby series, What's New, Scooby-Doo?, Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue! and Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, as well as all cartoon movies made since 2004, Velma is voiced by Mindy Cohn. In the 2002 and 2004 live-action movies, Velma is played by Linda Cardellini.

Velma is portrayed by Hayley Kiyoko in the 2009 live-action movie Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and its live-action sequel Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster. The DVD Cyber Center: Scooby-doo DVD REVIEW Reviewed October 21st, 2002 by Brian White If you are anything like me, Scooby Doo did not jump out as a ï¿½Must Seeï¿½ movie. In fact, when I saw the ads, I really could not believe that they even made this picture. Did the Scooby character need to evolve into a new medium, or was Warner Bros. just looking to make a buck? The movie certainly has that cookie-cutter summer movie vibe: hot young actors, BIG budget, and itï¿½s a nostalgia flick aimed at teenagers. Once again, I was wrong. I had very low expectations about the picture. A friend suggested that it is better than I thought, so I gave it a try. Perhaps as a result of my low expectations, I was really entertained and amused by this picture. It is perfectly silly. Any movie that achieves everything it sets out to do is fantastic in my books.

This is the best Scooby Doo movie that could have been made. It both captures the spirit of the animated show, and mocks it quite well. The opening sequence of the flick is enough to win you over if you have ever seen the show. We see the typical ending of a Scooby Doo episode, where a crazy plan is executed to catch the bad guy. This is not actually the ghost that is suggested, but a crusty old caretaker who used technology to suggest something supernatural. Moreover, he would have gotten away with it, if it wasnï¿½t for those pesky kids and their stupid dog! Scooby Dooby Doo! Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Daphne, the ï¿½stereotypical pretty girl.ï¿½ Mr. Gellar, Freddy Prinze Jr., plays Fred. Matthew Lillard is hilarious as Shaggy. Linda Cardellini is quite good as Thelma. The kids are given a little more personality here. Prinze Jr. is actually pretty brave to play a dolt like Fred. The kids resent the egomaniac Fred taking all their glory, and the troupe breaks up.

After a while, they are forced to reunite to solve a mystery that has been plaguing a, surprise, haunted amusement park! Jinkies! One of the reasons that this flick works is that it is not entirely a conversion from its cartoon roots to live action. You have a CGI Scooby bridging the gap between live action and animation. The effect is great. He has all the facial expressions, and physical humor that he did in the cartoon. It is not entirely photo-realistic, but the genre is forgiving enough. One of the filmmakers discusses the effect in the documentary, saying that they wanted the character to be recognizable as Scooby Doo while still looking like a dog. Scoobyï¿½s physicality is more canine than it was in the cartoon. Other standing jokes about the characters are suggested, such as Thelmaï¿½s ï¿½preferencesï¿½ and Shaggyï¿½s love of a given herb. All and all, the cast looks like they are having a blast, and this is a fun movie to watch. It loses steam, like all TV-to-film conversions, but it still manages to do its job well.

Added to all this, you see Gellar kick some major booty, almost Buffy style. The transfer for DVD is as good as you would expect from a big budget summer flick. This is a very colorful film, and the sets are very interesting. All of this is represented quite well in the 1.85:1, anamorphic transfer. The disc is available separately in a full screen version. This review is based on the widescreen disc. The Dolby Digital 5.1 surround track is active enough in all of the action scenes. The score uses spooky choir sounds, and they are mixed nicely throughout the mix, as is the music from the soundtrack CD. The mix complements the movie quite well. For extras, there is a behind-the-scenes featurette that has interview footage with the actors, and filmmakers, as well as some of the people behind the original cartoon. Deleted scenes are included with commentary. The most interesting deletion is the original animated titles sequence. A commentary with director Raja Gosnell and the two producers is included. This is more anecdotal than technical, and is full of great information about the making of the flick down under.

More entertaining is the cast commentary, which has the four cast members watching the film and sharing their insights. A game and a music video are also included. Please help support our site by buying this DVD title through this link . Thank you kindly.
